Are there any aftermarket ones that are better then OEM for these engine or should i stick with OEM? I ask cause i want the best possible and i want to replace them all in a few weeks when i tear then engine down for the new topend..i looked around alittle bit but not sure what to get

Just go with OEM.

I looked for a few months when i was doing my build but ended up using the stockers. About the only option is having some one-off's made.


the stockers are holding up fine for me...

SBC lifters might be able to be retro fit, but I haven't attempted personally to do so. I know there might be an issue with the oil groove being too high on the lifter and may actually be exposed at higher lift.

I know the diameter is the same, but the length is different. Probably best to try some aftermarket linked lifters, and new pushrods would be needed. The angles on the pushrods to the rocker might be a bit much.

I will probably look more into this once I get that far with my 3500.

This would take some experimentation and research to verify.

normally im up for experimenting but in this case i cant..the car has been dead for a week from a valvetrain issue that i have looked for yet..im waiting on new heads before i start tearing apart the car and right now i just dont have the time or money to try making something work so unless some knows some good aftermarket ones that are the same size and everything it looks like OEM..whats a new set go for usually? ill probably go to the dealer for these even tho itll probably cost an arm and a leg
